Readit Newsproject is called Mermaid ASCII -->|expectation| It supports mermaidjs syntax
It supports mermaidjs syntax -->|I tried| It doesn't
It doesn't -->|conclusion| I am a bit bummed
On a serious note, yes not all syntax noted in the Mermaid docs work yet. I'm planning on adding more coverage of the Mermaid syntax over time. For now the basics work and (hopefully) shows its potential.
Small nit on layout: 90 degree joints should use "+" in the connecting lines, as they do in the boxes.
One request: support for self-reference, i.e. "A --> A", "A --> A & B"
But now seriously.. the diagrams are working really well for simple examples, thank you so much for sharing this tool. I have bookmarked your page, my documentation is based on text files and often have to build these kind of diagrams too.
The example buttons took me a while to be found, but are good for syntax explanation. Thank you for making this available.
The "Example" buttons don't jump out at me; I found them but it took a while. Also consider labeling them with their point, e.g. "Example 3: Color"
If you change the input text to something well-formed, the graph seems to update immediately. But if you change it to something ill-formed, the graph doesn't update immediately — and then if you click "Generate" manually, it blanks the input box. Either this is a bug, or the "Generate" button doesn't do what I think it does (i.e. generate output). Again, adding a noun to the verb might help. Or just adding some usage information somewhere on the page.
For those like me who've never heard of "Mermaid," apparently it's like GraphViz's dot language but different. https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid I tried the flowchart example from Mermaid's own README, but it didn't come out right: looks like the shape characters [] and {} aren't handled.
There are apparmor profiles for Firefox, e.g. this one: https://github.com/nibags/apparmor-profiles/blob/master/appa... Maybe you could add it to your system and see if that fixes things.
Thanks!

I really don't like it, but turning off Apparmor worked for me. Not sure what caused AppArmor to start complaining all of a sudden.
PS: it's open source so feel free to help out ;) https://github.com/AlexanderGrooff/mermaid-ascii
